Scottish Football Tips: Blue Toon is full of goals

IT’S not often Peterhead games take pride of place but bookies are still tempting us with goals tonight.

My weekend best bet was going to be over 2.5 match goals at 9-10 before their Scottish Cup tie at home to Dumbarton was called off.

But the good news is 9-10 is still available from Marathonbet for tonight’s replay. Over 3.5 is 11-5 for anyone who fancies that.

Peterhead games have been goal-laden recently with 32 in five – 24 of them going the way of the Blue Toon.

Despite being in League Two Peterhead are 23-20 favourites with William Hill while the Sons are 12-5 at McBookie. I’m on the home but not at those odds. Instead take the goals bet and consider Rory McAllister to score first at 10-3 (McBookie).

There are two other replays tonight – Albion Rovers v St Johnstone and Livingston v Falkirk. Saints are no bigger than 1-3 at McBookie so consider them to win by at least two at 20-21 (bet365).

The other tie is tougher to call with Falkirk improving and Livi fading. Falkirk draw no bet has a chance at 6-4 with Marathonbet.

In the Premiership Celtic are a best 1-5 with William Hill for their visit to Partick Thistle where they have won 14 in a row.

It should be another routine win for Brendan Rodgers’s refreshed side and I’m backing Celtic -2 at 17-10 with betfair while to win to nil at 7-10 with McBookie also looks on.

Bookies don’t often get it wrong but I’m Assuming although there is a two league difference, both clubs are part time, it’s at Peterhead and Peterhead are flying. Don’t disagree that Peterheadlook a bit skinny Mr F but can understand why the bookies have priced them up so short

Desmond’s a Dumbarton fan – I knew there was one – and he points out Dumbarton are of course part-time a lot of players will be working today then face a long trip north. Same for Peterhead but no travelling.
